In Microsoft OneNote 2010, you can share a notebook so that you can access it on other computers or on the Web, or so that you can work in it together with other people. Taking notes as a group is a collaborative process. As a collaborative tool, OneNote offers far more than the ability to send static notebook pages via e-mail.

When you share a notebook on a SharePoint site, you can use the features of a library to manage and share your notebooks. You can manage who has permission to view the notebook or contribute notes. You can store additional information about the notebook or its pages, such as the department name or project number. You can also track versions of the notebook, so that people can view or restore an earlier version if needed and receive updates when the content changes by using alerts or RSS Feeds.

Using shared notebooks with SharePoint sites. When Office OneNote 2007 notebooks are stored in a shared location, such as a SharePoint library, multiple users can simultaneously access shared notes and contribute to them on an ongoing basis. A library is a central location on a SharePoint site where people store and manage their files.

The 2007 Microsoft Office Suites provide the best level of rich, contextual integration with Windows SharePoint Services and Office SharePoint Server, allowing users to interact with SharePoint sites without leaving their Office programs and to have two-way synchronization with collaborative information and documents as well as business data stored on SharePoint sites.

Recommended configuration for crawling large hosts When defining content sources to crawl in SharePoint Search, the maximum number of threads that can simultaneously make requests to a host is set to 12 by default OOB. This value affects the rate of content discovery from the host. For all small and medium sized hosts (<10M), this thread count is sufficient. But if the target host is >10M, we recommend you increase the thread count. Workaround For large hosts (>10M items), we recommend you set the number of threads to 32 or more. This is over-and-above the recommendation to have dedicated crawl targets that helps manage load on front ends efficiently without impacting performance observed by users of that host.

The Recycle Bin provides a safety net when deleting documents, list items, lists, folders and files. When you or site visitors delete any of these items from a Web site, the items are placed in the Recycle Bin.

Problem Description:

Unable to restore files/folders from Site Collection Recycle Bin

When we try to restore we get the following exception:

Error Message: Unable to restore ‘file name’

Troubleshooting Steps:

1)Checked on the path from where the Folder was deleted and confirmed that it was not modified or deleted i.e. all the top-level folders/sites where intact to get to the folder.

2)Checked for the available quota on site by means of storman.aspx

·Open the site

·Site actions

·Site settings

·Site collection administration

·Storage allocation (storman.aspx)

All looked fine still unable to restore

Resolution:

·Checked the Document Library where the folder had to be restored and found a folder named similarto the folder which was to be restored. E.g. RC PHASETEST4 as to RC PHASETEST3

·So, renamed the similar folder to something else and tried restore, it worked. Once restored reverted the renamed folder to original.

Different users…different issues but all are using the same product i.e. SharePoint

And we are here to resolves the issues and guide them in right directions.

This time-I am sharing in interesting issues which is based on sharepoint designer. User opened a ticket by mentioning that she is getting the following error message while opening the site in sharepoint designer.

The folder 'http://localhost' isn't accessible. The folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contains a / or \.

What needs to be done if we encounter such issues? If we notice carefully then we will come to know that the error message is self explanatory. Ok-what exactly?

Here are the guidelines by which you can check the parameters one by one and get back to me in case of any questions/queries/information required:

1)There is no such site or folder?

2)This location is inaccessible because you are using FORM Authentication? You need to extend the web application on another port to connect to SPD.

Almost everyone heard about Trunk Media Bypass however you how it work, how to configure the same, today I will show you same.

Trunk Media Bypass is the media from the Lync client destined for PSTN/SIP-trunk or vice-versa always traversed through the Mediation Server.

With Lync 2010, a Mediation Server can now have a one to many relationships with media gateways, allowing a single Mediation Server to control multiple PSTN Gateways, IP-PBXs or E-SBCs. This flexible relationship is made possible via a powerful new Media Bypass feature in Lync 2010.

How to Configure Media Bypass on a Trunk?

1. Log on to the computer as a member of the RTCUniversalServerAdmins group, or as a member of the CsVoiceAdministrator, CsServerAdministrator, or CsAdministrator role. Open a browser window, and enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Control Panel.

2. In the left navigation bar, click Voice Routing and click Trunk Configuration.

3. On the Trunk Configuration page, use one of the following methods to configure a trunk:

1. Site trunk: Choose the site for this trunk configuration from the Select a Site dialog box, and then click OK. If a trunk has already been created for a site, the site does not appear in the Select a Site dialog box.

2. Pool trunk: Choose the service for this trunk configuration (for example, a PSTN gateway at a specified site) from the Select a Service dialog box, and then click OK. If a trunk has already been created for a service, the service does not appear in the Select a Service dialog box.

4. Give a value in the Maximum early dialogs supported box. This is the maximum number of forked responses a PSTN gateway, IP-PBX, or ITSP Session Border Controller can receive to an INVITE that it sent to the Mediation Server. The default value is 20.

5. Select one of the following Encryption support level options:

·Required: To help protect traffic between the Mediation Server and the gateway or PBX, secure real-time transport protocol (SRTP) encryption must be used.

·Optional: SRTP encryption will be used if the service provider or equipment manufacturer supports it.

·Not Supported: SRTP encryption is not supported by the service provider or equipment manufacturer and therefore will not be used.

6. If you want media to bypass the Mediation Server for processing by the trunk peer, select the Enable media bypass check box.

7. Select the Centralized media processing check box if there is a well-known media termination point (for example, a PSTN gateway where the media termination has the same IP as the signaling termination). Deselect this check box if the trunk does not have a well-known media termination point.

8. If the trunk peer supports receiving SIP REFER requests from the Mediation Server, select the Enable refer support check box. Deselect the check box if the trunk peer does not support receiving SIP REFER requests from the Mediation Server.

9. (Optional) Associate and configure translation rules for the trunk:

·To choose one or more rules from a list of all translation rules available in your Enterprise Voice deployment, click Select. In Select Translation Rules, click the rules that you want to associate with the trunk and then click OK.

·To define a new translation rule and associate it with the trunk, click New.

·To edit a translation rule that is already associated with the trunk, click the rule name and then click Show details.

·To copy an existing translation rule to use as a starting point for defining a new rule, click the rule name and click Copy, and then click Paste.

·To remove a translation rule from the trunk, highlight the rule name and click Remove.

10. Make sure the trunk’s translation rules are arranged in the correct order. Highlight the rule name and then click the up or down arrow to change a rule’s position in the list.

11. Click OK when you are finished configuring the trunk.

12. On the Trunk Configuration page, click Commit, and then click Commit all.
